I'll be there tonight as well.

Did anyone notice a stat Bally put up that showed Nashville is leading the league in hits and that the Canes are DEAD LAST in hits - hope not being physical enough won't come back and bite us in the playoffs like it did last year.

I did see this last night and there are a couple different thoughts I have, mostly I think the Canes brand of hockey would suffer if they were to become a much more physical team. Teams try to slow the Canes down by making hits and getting physical, and there are rare occasions when that happens. But, for the most part, the Canes are better when they're getting up and down the ice, not laying hits in the defensive zone- it only slows down the opportunities for breaks and getting behind the D.

That being said, Waddell did bring Orlov, TDA, Bunting and Lemieux in to be those guys that would provide some sandpaper to the roster. And the one who shows it better than any of those guys? Noesen.

I think he's on short notice tonight. If tonight's game gets out of hand and his goaltending is the reason, I don't think RBA will wait to pull him.

After tonight, 3 on the road in Toronto, Rags and Washington. Canes needed last night's 2 points, another 2 tonight and at least 3 of the next 6 points available on the road, although 2 wins would be okay with me. 

Another back-to-back next Friday-Saturday (@ Washington, come home for St. Louis).

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
